Remember the news about the Warner Brothers, Dungeons & Dragons movie remake? No not me either. Well news is heating up with rumours that ‘The Fault In Our Stars‘ actor Ansel Elgort is in serious talks to play the title role.
The movie is also gaining traction with the news that the film will be directed by Goosebumps writer Rob Letterman and a script written by David Leslie Johnson from Wrath Of The Titans. With multiple producers fronting the product such as Brian Goldner (Hasbro), Stephen Davis, Courtney Soloman and Allan Zeman (Sweetpea Entertainment).
I for one am excited by the prospect of Elgort leading a remake, with cinema currently being in the ‘remake/prequel/sequal’ era, although I did like admittedly not mind the 2000 version of the film starring Justin Whalin (Lois & Clark). I would be interested to see what they could do with an increased budget. Just incase you don’t remember this version check out the trailer below.
What do you think? Will the remake be a success? Or will it be cursed like the original ala Fantastic Four 4?
